Greater Shepparton has been bombard with heavy rain since Sunday, causing flash flooding across multiple in Shepparton’s CBD and further afield.
Business owners on Corio Street have had enough of the inadequate drainage that leaves customer cars semi-submerged. Believing that ratepayer funds could be put to better use by Council.
“For over ten years, I’ve been asking Council to fix this and nothing. But if I’m 10 minutes late in paying for my sign on the footpath, I get fined. Maybe instead of asking for the drain to get fixed, I should be asking for a bike lane to reduce traffic and speed humps,” said Stuart Gowty of McKellars Picture Framing.
